Laozi of the Three Kingdoms is the Emperor

Chapter 229 A Brilliant Pen!

After getting the two carts of saltpeter, Xu Chu immediately returned to the barracks as quickly as possible.

and.

After he came back, he immediately asked Ding Li to be brought over.

at this time.

There were already a lot of people surrounded in the barracks, and what Ding Li said to Xu Chu before had spread throughout the barracks long after Xu Chu left.

therefore.

Almost most of the people knew that Xu Chu brought it back, and it was probably a rare treasure capable of making ice cubes!
Especially those soldiers who had followed Xu Chu and seen ice cubes under Luoyang City before, were more excited than anyone else at this time.

They will never forget the scene they saw with their own eyes!
Unexpected.

Only less than two days later, they were able to make ice cubes. For a while, the soldiers' admiration for Xu Chu reached its peak.

Xu Chu knew this very well, so he didn't refuse the soldiers' onlookers.

Such a good opportunity to enhance prestige, why would I refuse it?
When there was a commotion in the barracks, Cao Ren couldn't control it, and risked being beheaded by Xu Chu, he forced himself to the place where the crowd was watching.

Of course Xu Chu also discovered Cao Ren immediately, but he didn't expose him.

Since Cao Ren wants to see it with his own eyes, it is better to let the other party see his own ability, so that he can understand who is qualified to give orders!
Just like that... Ding Li slowly came to the school field in the camp under the attention of everyone.

"This is the saltpeter you mentioned. I will bring it to you today. If you can prove that everything you said before is true, today will be your time of glory and wealth!"

"But... if General Ben finds out that everything you said before was lying to me, you should be able to imagine what will happen to you!"

Xu Chu personally took a piece of saltpeter from the carriage, came to Ding Li, and handed the saltpeter into Ding Li's hands.

"Next... it's up to you to prove yourself!"

"I need a big wooden tub... and a wooden barrel! Also, bring plenty of water!"

When he saw the piece of saltpeter in Xu Chu's hand, Ding Li's mouth revealed a faint smile.

of course.

Xu Chu, who was in a state of excitement, didn't notice this detail at all.

After hearing Ding Li's words, he immediately gave instructions to the people beside him.

Less than a quarter of an hour.

The wooden barrels, tubs, and a large amount of water that Ding Li needed were all prepared and placed in front of him one by one.

At this time, everyone on the school grounds became silent as if they understood.

They all want to see if those unremarkable stones can make the legendary ice cube!

Cao Ren's brows were tightly knit together... If this Ding Li couldn't make ice cubes at all, Cao Ren would be relieved, but if the other party really made ice cubes, then there must be something wrong with this person !

He secretly decided in his heart that as long as he proves that the other party has a problem, he will kill this guy at all costs, even if he will cause trouble to his upper body, he will not hesitate!

If I really died under Xu Chu's sword this time, then I would consider myself to be loyal to Cao Cao in another way!

soon.

Ding Li filled the wooden basin with water, then put the wooden barrel into the wooden basin, and filled the wooden barrel with water again.

After doing all this... Ding Li signaled the soldiers around him to bring saltpeter for him.

immediately.

While everyone was holding their breath, Ding Li slowly put the saltpeter into the wooden basin outside.

After the saltpeter entered the tub, it began to melt slowly, and Ding Li put another piece of saltpeter in before it completely melted.

Just like that... Ding Li began to put the saltpeter in continuously, and as time passed, a puff of smoke began to float out of the barrel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing the smoke, Xu Chu couldn't help but tremble all over.

He knew very well that this was the chill from the ice cubes!
This also shows that what Ding Li said before is true, he can really make ice cubes!
Taking a deep breath, Xu Chu quickly came to Ding Li's side, looking at the water in the barrel very seriously.

now.

The water has already started to freeze, as long as we wait for a short time, the water in this bucket will completely turn into a big bucket of ice!
"It's unbelievable...it's really unbelievable!" Xu Chu shook his head slowly while admiring.

Even seeing all this with his own eyes now, he couldn't believe it was actually true.

These seemingly inconspicuous stones can actually create such heaven-defying objects!
To know.

In the eyes of the world, it is God's will to be warm in winter and cool in summer!
And now.

Something against God's will appeared in their hands!
"Unexpectedly...you didn't lie to me. After this incident, I will definitely reward you heavily!" Xu Chu looked at Ding Li very seriously and said.

"The villain doesn't need any rewards, as long as the general fulfills his promise, it is enough not to kill the villain!" Ding Li shook his head slowly, and said very calmly.

Looking at his current appearance, it seems that he has seen through everything in the world.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xu Chu laughed again, perhaps because he was in a very good mood at the moment, and the more he saw Ding Li, the more pleasing he was to his eyes.

He has secretly decided in his heart that when he returns to Yanzhou, he will introduce this person to Cao Cao grandly. He believes that with Cao Cao's personality, he will definitely like people like Ding Li!

"Don't worry! I will never break my promise!"

"That's good……"

Ding Li breathed a sigh of relief, and after pondering for a while, he seemed to want to say something again, but after glancing at Xu Chu, he suddenly hesitated.

Xu Chu obviously noticed this detail, he stepped forward and patted Ding Li on the shoulder, and said indifferently: "If you have anything to say, feel free to say it, you are now one of your own!"

"To thank the general, the villain has a piece of advice... The way the villain did just now can improve the quality of the ice cubes, but it consumes a lot of saltpeter and takes a lot of time!"

"If the general wants to promote it in the army, just throw saltpeter into the water!"

"This not only saves time, but also avoids the consumption of saltpeter to the greatest extent, killing two birds with one stone!"

Ding Li's expression at the moment seemed as if he had revealed a top secret that few people knew.

This trick seems to be very effective for Xu Chu. After hearing what Ding Li said, he nodded very seriously and kept it in his heart...
